Habitat Wiki

For password sharing, we use a version hosted directly with Pearing for our passwords. This requires a couple of changes to the default settings to work. Please follow the steps listed here to get BitWarden setup.

1. Browse to https://bw.habitatlacrosse.org/ and click “Create account” at the bottom.
2. Use your Habitat email address to create your account.
3. When choosing the Master Password be sure to choose a complex password that you can remember. There is NO WAY to gain access to your passwords if this is forgotten. You can set a password hint to help if you do forget, but if that doesn't help, you will not be able to access your passwords.
4. Click “Create account.”
5. You will receive an email to verify your email address. It may go to spam. Please find this email and click the verify button to verify your address.
6. Once this has been completed, please let Tage or Kahya know you have an account and we can add you to the Habitat password vault.
7. Once you have been added to the Habitat vault, you will receive an email for you to confirm your acceptance to join the vault. Please click the button to accept.
8. Once you have accepted the invite, please follow up with Tage or Kahya to approve you one final time.
